I have a Hewlett Packard 660C deskjet printer.  I cannot print out
anything directly.  I have to save to the hard drive first.  What is the
problem?  Can you help me?

You mean: In general? Sure... Talk to your sysadmin >;-> Actually, it'd be
quite helpful if you could state your OS and the version of pine, though. If
you're running u*ix, check your apsfilter or whatever printfilter you're
running. In pine, check if the print command is set correctly. Maybe you're
using the wrong printing command. There's an option for custom printers.
Either way, the latest versions of lpr are known to be buggy.

If you're using Dos95, get yourself LinuX... ;-)

Cheers,
Robin

       On the package it said: "Requires MS Windows 3.11 or better"  
	       			      ...  so I got myself Linux.
